eth0 errors reported on boot after improper shutdown

[Jeremy Domingue]

Thanks to everyone who replied..... someone suggested that I try an Intel
driver (which I had no idea even existed) to see if that worked a little
better. I loaded the Intel driver and the problem seems to have cleared up.
It's unclear to me whether or not this has reset something in the card to
make it work with eepro100 again, but for now I'm not going to go back and
try it... I will probably try it again when the new kernel (2.2.15) is
released to see if it will start working with eepro100 again.

Again, thanks for all the help.

Those are new messages in Andrey's branch.  It's not clear what the problem
is here.

You might try version 1.10a in the "netdriver" SRPM at
  ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/

A recent change has been the addition of a fall-back polling mode.  This
isn't intended as a regular operating mode, only as a way to emit an
understandable message and get a little network traffic throght when the
APIC code fails to configure a working IRQ setting.
